Comment on The Song of Geralt

    I really, really loved this. The first person POV is so unusual and unexpected, yet you pulled it off so well, and it made this fic all the more poignant and intense for it. I really like the premise too, and the way Jaskier handled it with so much respect and love. My favourite parts :

    "“Because I am a killer and you are a lover?” He asks, avoiding my gaze.
    “Because you are a wonder and my hands were made to touch you.”
    He snorts softly. “Poet,” he says."
    I've got to agree with Geralt here, I really thought it was poetry 🥺

    "But he doesn’t sound angry at all. The word precious has come out with fear clinging to it. It is a choke. It is almost a sob." Give this man some well deserved love 😭😭

    "His pupils are blown so dark that they no longer look feline. They look like marbles of anthracite." Beautiful choice of words.

    And finally the parallel between the beginning and the end, with the addition of "And now he knows he is loved." Yes 🤧🤧

    Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece of writing ❤️

      Thank you for pulling the quotes you especially loved. It is SO NICE to see which ones had a special impact. We writers angst over each word and it's such a fantastic feeling when that is noticed! It means so much. So thank you again. xoxoxo
